Students have an amazing chance at this College to take different courses and get involved in different clubs or organizations that may change the direction of their professional lives," said Kenney, who is 19 years old. During her tenure as SGA president, she hopes to further open the lines of communication and make students more aware of the variety of opportunities available to them. This, Kenney believes, will help provide them with the full college experience. She will encourage students to come to her with their comments and concerns as well.Kenney, a former youth leader at her church, is excited about working with and for the College's nearly 24,000 students and meeting many different types of people. "It would be wonderful to make more friends, especially with people from other backgrounds," she said.A liberal arts major at NCC, Kenney has been inspired by her professors at Nassau.
